General description

The course focuses on advanced topics on adaptive filtering. Main themes are related to linear filtering algorithms in time and frequency domains, nonlinear adaptive filters implemented as neural networks, neural architectures and learning algorithms for feedforward and recurrent networks. Applications include pattern recognition (OCR and face processing), data transmission channel equalization and analog decoding, biomedical time series analysis, system identification. Software support is provided by MATLAB and NeuroSolutions neural networks simulator.
